Casio EX-S200 vs Olympus TG-870 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes only by viewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-S200 and TG-870.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should anticipate the Olympus TG-870 to result in more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged EX-S200 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
